Punkbuster solutions

Regenerating my pb solutions page for everyone's benefit. Posting this in the software forum, so that it will remain as a static pointer for all of our pb enabled games.


Updating Punkbuster

Updated

Evanbalance has released a new Gui tool to update punkbuster. Full instructions and download info here:
http://www.evenbalance.com/index.php?page=pbsetup.php
Resolving PB services issues:

To manually install/uninstall the components, users may use our PBSVC Setup Program. However, uninstalling the new service components will disable PunkBuster and may prevent playing on PunkBuster servers. PBSVC can be downloaded from http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe

Other issues (firewall)

PB is unable to communicate with some peoples computers due to their firewall settings.There have been about three known PB messages which say something like
"Heartbeats stopped" , "Handshakes failed" and another initialization error. PB is NOW running as a service (process) When you start cod4 (or any other punkbuster enabled game), your firewall needs to accept a service called PnkBstrB.exe which is in your PB folder.

Partition Wizard

Hey guys thought I would pass this on, had a 4Gb flash drive that was telling me that there was only 250Mb on it and 3.75gb of unallocated space.I could not get to the other room at all through windows disk management. I researched and found PARTION WIZARD has a mini tool full version avaible for free.

It worked really good and was easy. I now have a 4 gb usb drive again Smiling thumbs up

Web site

Can anyone just open a web site, page? Does it cost anything? How do you do it?

new web browsers released : ie9, firfox 4, chrome

for those that have issues with our flash heavy site due to our sigs, now it the time to upgrade your browser. Doesn't matter which one you use, they have all had major updates recently. chrome users don't have to do anything unless they want to manually verify. To do that just to to about chrome, then check for updates.

I just update firefox 4 and its much faster. takes a little bit to get used to the new layout, but all of the new browsers support much faster rendering engines for java, and other web standards. In short, better end user experience due to things being fast.

go forth and upgrade.
